Gabriel Tate Daily Telegraph (UK) At once a celebration and elegy, warning and fairy tale, this was a striking, troubling and above all intoxicating film. Rated: 4/5 Mar 11, 2019 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) There's a maudlin tone here and a tragic sense of loss...that makes it ineffably compelling. Rated: 4/5 Jun 22, 2018 Full Review Adam Lee Davies Little White Lies Arcadia layers its tumbling images to form a portrait of an idiosyncratic nation that hasn't so much lost its way, but rather fallen out of love with itself. Rated: 3/5 Jun 22, 2018 Full Review Alan Boon Starburst After a gentle introduction which could almost begin any straightforward look at the subject, things begin to get a little weird. Rated: 9/10 Oct 31, 2018 Full Review John A. Riley PopMatters Arcadia is a frequently fascinating, often unsettling look at traditions and places that can often feel like they are vanishing before our eyes. Oct 31, 2018 Full Review Francesca Angelini Sunday Times (UK) It makes for pretty tedious watching, though the harsher side of our treatment of animals and an eerie score from Adrian Utley (Portishead) and Will Gregory (Goldfrapp) give it an edge. Rated: 2/5 Jun 26, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Bernadette Y I tried to delete this but can’t… this was meant for the movie Arcadian. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME,… especially if your watching it on tv, it’s sooo dark, the entire movie, that you just can’t get into it… becomes tedious to try and engage in 👎🏼 and yawn 🥱 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Audience Member ..and that's why you should never leave London. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Arcadia is a fascinating look at man's relationship with Mother Earth shown using archive footage from around the UK set to a modern score. An intriguing blend of folk horror and documentary combine to create an unusual, almost ethereal, story. Predominantly in black and white, we travel through the last 100 years, focusing on certain areas of the English countryside, in an unflinching journey that highlights our tender, yet often destructive, use of nature whilst showcasing our evolution, for better or worse.   Featuring an original score by Adrian Utley of Portishead and Will Gregory from Goldfrapp, their music beautifully captures a plethora of emotions. Freedom, hope, despair and angst in particular. BAFTA winning Director Paul Wright has brought to the present a superbly crafted film about the future, making full use of our chequered past. Quirky, visceral and compelling, Arcadia is a thought provoking film that challenges attitudes and ideals. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi made the same point better, 30 years ago. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
